This gumbo was easy to make and turned out great! The chicken was tender and the okra was cooked perfectly. The roux was rich and flavorful, and the overall flavor of the dish was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

This gumbo was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the okra was overcooked. The roux was also a bit too dark. Overall, I was not impressed.
